as_o become_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o give_v it_o a_o external_a beauty_n not_o a_o mere_a pageantry_n of_o holiness_n that_o custom_n of_o the_o greek_a and_o other_o eastern_a church_n to_o separate_v the_o man_n from_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o public_a assembly_n seem_v to_o have_v something_o of_o antiquity_n for_o its_o plea_n though_o the_o disuse_n of_o it_o in_o these_o western_a

they_o a_o privilege_n which_o be_v so_o manifest_a a_o impediment_n to_o our_o devotion_n as_o be_v their_o prate_n over_o the_o psalm_n response_n and_o other_o portion_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n i_o can_v stand_v beside_o the_o fair_a of_o that_o sex_n in_o the_o church_n unmoved_a as_o marble_n their_o bright_a charm_n serve_v but_o as_o foil_n to_o se●_n off_o the_o incomparable_a

seem_v uncourtly_a or_o austere_a if_o we_o remember_v that_o st._n paul_n himself_o have_v say_v i_o permit_v not_o a_o woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o another_o place_n let_v woman_n have_v power_n on_o their_o head_n that_o be_v be_v cover_v or_o veil_a because_o of_o the_o angel_n or_o as_o some_o interpret_v it_o because_o of_o the_o young_a man_n i_o wish_v for_o a_o pure_a reformation_n in_o the_o church_n than_o we_o have_v hitherto_o see_v yet_o i_o be_o not_o for_o tear_v up_o christianity_n by_o the_o root_n i_o can_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v the_o house_n of_o god_n purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o building_n repair_v and_o beautify_v without_o remove_v it_o from_o the_o foundation_n the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n to_o i_o seem_v no_o other_o way_n difference_v than_o thus_o i_o look_v upon_o a_o presbyter_n as_o a_o parochial_a bishop_n and_o a_o bishop_n as_o a_o diocesan_n presbyter_n their_o dignity_n equal_a in_o quality_n though_o not_o in_o quantity_n the_o one_o have_v power_n of_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o only_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o order_n and_o good_a government_n in_o the_o church_n one_o be_v invest_v with_o a_o jurisdiction_n and_o superiority_n of_o which_o the_o other_o be_v as_o capable_a if_o due_o elect_v to_o it_o i_o envy_v not_o the_o bishop_n or_o rule_v presbyter_n their_o temporal_a honour_n and_o riches_n neither_o will_v i_o be_v a_o leveller_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o desirable_a thing_n if_o there_o be_v a_o more_o equal_a distribution_n of_o ecclesiastical_a benefice_n that_o the_o poor_a preach_a presbyter_n may_v have_v a_o income_n that_o shall_v free_v he_o from_o the_o temptation_n of_o envy_v a_o
